mauserme Posted April 7, 2011 at 12:17 PM Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 at 12:17 PM No, they can't vote on it today. A bill needs to read 3 times before a vote can be taken. Since this bill is at second reading the farthest it could go today is third reading. If that were to happen (it might, or might not) it could then be voted on the next time the House meets.

TyGuy Posted April 7, 2011 at 04:28 PM Share Posted April 7, 2011 at 04:28 PM Are any of the bills regarding weapons being voted on todayYou have to just watch and see. Once a bill makes it to the third reading it can be voted on. However, when the bill is called the sponsor, author, of the bill can say that they don't want to take a vote on it today and it is placed out of the record. This just means that no action is taken on it today. It will be given the option of being voted on again the next day that the house convenes. So, to answer your question, yes some MAY be voted on today, but there are no guarentees. Mauserme feel free to correct my statement if it is wrong.

Druid Posted April 7, 2011 at 04:50 PM Share Posted April 7, 2011 at 04:50 PM Do I understand this correctly? When a rep is absent, one of their fellow party members can vote for them by pressing the buttons at the desk when they normally would be sitting. How they work out that agreement I'm guessing is worked out between the absent rep and their leadership. I have been to Springfield and have watched people on the floor push the voting buttons for many absent members. However, if someone in the chamber demands for a "vote verification", then the votes are counted and if the Rep isn't actually in the chamber, then the vote is taken away. Is that right?

Uncle Harley Posted April 7, 2011 at 07:21 PM Share Posted April 7, 2011 at 07:21 PM Norine Hammond must not know HB 2084 well. Witetail deer are " furbearers" Uh deer don't have fur, they have hollow hair. And deer can't be picked up as roadkill? She said no. Uh yeah, they can, they are the only animal that can be picked up as road kill wether in season or not, but you first must optain a permit and or permit # prior to taking home. I have no problems with this bill it only clarifies bait, which most read exaclty like most common people understood bait. However the one question I have is she kept saying the bait had to be removed for hunting season and 10 days FOLLOWING. Now Here are my questions. 1 is it now legal to feed now as long as it's not for hunting? Years ago before CWD we could put bait out prior to season but it had to be removed 10 PRIOR not after. Has that changed now? I don't think she knew what she was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
